Hey LaurieAnn

I avoid the posts she has lol.

I think that it's important that racism is seen not as only white's do it. That is pretty naive and totally untrue. What I'm seeing now in our society especially in job scarcity, is that overqualified white's are NOT getting the jobs, whereas lower qualified (as long as they are not visibly white) are getting the jobs. This type of racism is perfectly acceptable.

Mainly because there is no internal shame built into other cultures other than white to keep people from separating from society, forming groups that do not allow any but their own in, and hire only "their own kind". There is no place on earth where that is allowable for whites. Yet there are countries where only specific ethnicities are allowed. No one screams Xenophobia.

I look at Israel a country the size of Rhode Island for fucks sake, and in the middle of the damn desert. The recent ethnic cleansing in Africa has led to refugees flocking to Israel. So now the Middle East is griping and moaning and groaning about how Israel (size of RI remember) won't take ALL of them in, and many of them are muslim. Now Israel already has a sizeable muslim community, As far as the ME is concerned Israel has the MOST diversity there is. My question is. Why the holy fuck doesn't Saudi Arabia take these refugees? Why don't we allow them to go to Iraq? We could train them for service and allow them to live in Iraq. Sounds fair to me.
